I think that the most useful Muslim invention was the Arabic number system. We wouldn't be able to count high or do certain math without the number 0. That number has influenced us throughout history and probably into the future.

I agree with you Tiffany, i think that the number system was also very important. Numbers are used almost everywhere, without number the world would be a lot different.

I agree with you Tiffany. Without the number system our world would be so much more different and the system also helped many other Muslim inventions.

I agree with you as well Tiffany. The arabic number system is extremely useful to everyone around the world. We use math everywhere everyday and if we didn't have 0, we wouldn't be able to do the amazing things we do today.

I agree with Tiffany because the Arabic number system was helpful and much easier then Roman Numerals. This made math way more easy.

I think soap is more important because without it more germs would be spread and more illness will be spread.Also everyone would smell bad because they cant clean themselves,

I agree that keeping a healthy mouth is important, but I don't think its the most important invention. Sure, it makes our breath smell fresh and not like a dirty gym locker, but think about it. Without the 0, we wouldn't be able to do everyday life decisions.

I think soap is the most important because it keeps us clean.Also it can clean other surfaces.Soap can kill germs that can cause disease or illness.Without soap nothing would be as clean as it is now,more germs would be spread because no one has clean hands.

I am not sure if I am right about what i'm about to say but i'm almost positive, didn't other cultures also invent a thing like soap. I doubt that only one culture would invent that. It seems to general.

I think that the most useful invention the Muslims invented was the battery. Especially today with cellphones and laptops. If we couldn't have a power source on the go to power our phone couldn't leave a power outlet. It has really helped us today in society.

I think the most useful invention the Muslims invented was theToothbrush and the Toothpaste because it prevents bad breath and tooth decea.Also,because gum disease can occur and it can lead to brain damage.

I honestly can't decide between the battery or the the number 0. The battery is super efficient and branched out more ideas for inventions. But then again, the number 0 is extremely important to everyday life. We wouldn't be able to pay taxes or buy groceries without the number 0. Both of these inventions are very efficient and well thought out.

I agree with you Abby. Both are very useful in everyday life. Plus, if the batteries weren't invented then many inventions today wouldn't be invented( probably)but then there is the number zero. If the number zero wasn't invented, along with our Number system, then everyday math would be very difficult. I can't imagine using the roman number system. So I see where you are going with this, and I totally agree with you about which one is more important.

I agree with you Jaiden. It does help the spread of germs somewhat stop. So we are very lucky that Muslims did invent this, and it probably is the reason why they invented it... To help stop the spread of germs. To be honest though, I still think that batteries and the number system are alittle more important, but soap is a better way to stay healthy and keep from germs spreading.

I think the toothbrush.Why?Well it is very important for our Heath and if we do not have toothbrush's and toothpaste then are mouth's will get dirty and they will probably get infected.Our teeth will rotten and our teeth will not grow and we have no teeth.If we had no teeth then we could not chew our food then we will not get any nutrition and we
would die.That is why I choose the toothbrush and not the number system because we don't need number's as much as we need toothbrush's and toothpaste because our life depends on our Heath and the number system dose not depend on our heath only on our knowledge.

I think we'd still have algebra but the format of it might be different. It would be a lot harder because the numbers are going to be different and we'd have to learn all these other ways to do algebra.

I think the most useful invention was either the number system or toothbrush and toothpaste. Both are very helpful in the world today. The toothbrush and toothpaste helps with bad breath and tooth decay. The number system is also just as helpful because without it we wouldn't have algebra.

Those are both very important, but you might be better off just picking one. Toothpaste and the toothbrush are very important, but I feel like the Arabic number system made a bigger impact on us today.

I think that the most important Muslim invention was the number system. If it weren't for the number system they invented... Our math would be very complicated. I mean if you were to compare the roman number system and the Arabic number system, the Arabic is much easier instead of a bunch of letters that get very confusing. I also think that the battery is a very important invention Muslims created. They are much more easier to use because one, they last pretty long, and second, if there weren't any batteries everything would have to be connected to some sort of wire, which would probably get very annoying.

I think the most important invention is the Arabic number system. I think it plays the biggest role in the world today because it is pretty much the basics of math. It would take much longer to do math without it. If it was not for the number system then math class would be much longer.

I definitely agree with Josh, he really states a good point. A way he has a good point with the system being important to everyday life is that dates would be hard to keep track of every 365 days. For example I'm posting on the date 1/31/16. He has a point with it being the basics of math since math wouldn't be the same without it. Anyway, I agree with Josh that the number system is the most important.

I think that the most important invention is the number 0. It will be nearly impossible to do math without it. I mean, what would you put instead of the number 0? That is just something that I think, "How would you have worked with numbers, before there was a zero?

I think the most useful invention the Muslims invented was their Arabic Number System. They had enhanced our system and this made lots of things possible today. They gave us the zero which could really effect math without it. I think school would be different in several ways. For example, without the system, schools wouldn't have as accurate things as it does today, like the class times would be off, the number count for things like desks in a room wouldn't be as accurate either. Thus this states life itself could've changed without the Arabic Number System!

I, for one believe that the greatest invention of the Muslims was the number zero. If the number zero was not invented than our whole number system today would not work as smoothly. Most of our strategies in math would probably not work.

I think the useful invention is surgery. I think this because if people get injured we won't hav e the right way to fix it. Plus if we can't help it someone die from having a serious injuring.
